Loved your Announcement voice, haha.

Awesome play through Mike! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this!

And there it is in all its gladiatorial glory! The Hoplo dice tower!!!! I predict this will be a staple in all playthroughs by you that feature dice :)

Looks like they took some inspiration from the Marvel Champions lcg. But a board always helps me with these mechanical games. Looking forward to try this one. Thanks for the playthrough, looking forward to the review!

I love this game , played twice and just got it yesterday in the mail

Fantastic video, like usual! Thanks so much for getting the word out about this game. I’m really excited for it. I’d love to hear how your future games go (or even see another play of this one) to see what a game with more typical dice luck would look like. I wonder if it was all luck or if maybe Red Skull is too easy, or the heroes/aspects you used are OP, or both, or neither and it was just crazy dice.

Thanks for another entertaining video. Although I have not having played either, game , it appears to be very similar to Pandemic: Star Wars: The Clone Wars in basic mechanics.

Crazy dice luck but fantastic video as always Mike!

Time for Mike Club!

Thanks for this. I too am looking forward to your review. This is really the first I've heard of this game. I like the aspect cards which have echoes of the system from Warhammer Quest/Heroes of Terrinoth. The Fight/Defy/Rest/Explore kind of feeling. Not as strong as in those other games in that you can do it multiple times here. I like how it gives you even different ways to play the same characters. Not sure it is for me. I think I will have my fill of Marvel games with United coming in the fall. But still amazing to watch you play.

Great playthrough! The game does look cool, but what is with that price point? You can buy a Star Wars Legion starter set for cheaper, and it's packed with plastic

Looks very interesting, and I like that there is a lot of heroes available, but for my personal taste it looks like it’s much more complex than United but without having the narrative aspect of something like Eldritch Horror, so I probably wouldn’t have much motivation to dedicate much time to it. Plus, while the illustrations are nice, the board itself looks absolutely boring and generic, which is kind of a shame. Added to the lack of minis (like United or Pandemic Clone Wars) it really does not stand out enough for me. I would still like to play it for myself though, I know a video is probably not enough to cast judgement on it. I will wait for your review as well! Thank you for the video!

This looks interesting although I will say, for the weight of the game, I think I'd rather be playing Marvel United? Similar overall depth but MU feels quicker to play.

Thank for the playthrough. It's too bad it has less storytelling than Eldritch, since that's one of the main attractions for me. That and the building up of assets which this seems to have less of. It seems like the randomness of success/failure leads to some snowballing on difficulty?

Thanks Mike. It seems to me to be very mechanical and at no point did I really feel the theme at all (a big negative for me). I know you said you like it, but does it feel thematic at all to you or mostly just an action optimization exercise (with a heavy dose of randomness on top) with Marvel art? While I'm sure the gameplay is more engaging than Mutant Insurrection, both seem to share a lack of any thematic engagement.

When you are empored or an ennemi is primed..... you gain always a SUCCES automaticly ??? or you choose between the capacity need empored/primed or the Success ???

This feels like one of the pandemic system game. I owned full Eldritch horror collection and dont own any pandemic game. So if the game is cheap or near the price of pandemic star wars/warcraft, I will buy this game. And also... I want xmen expansion for the game. Fantasyflight please make it happen!

Which do you prefer; Marvel Champions, or Marvel Dagger?

Looked like a few camera cuts after rolling dice. So I have to ask, did you manipulate the dice rolls to make the game seem fairer / more exciting? It's fine if you did but might give the wrong impression to the average play through if you did. Other than that, a great video and considering how little info there is on this game, it's cool to see it in action.

Wait ... If a hero is defeated, you simply flip to their alter-ego side, which is basically a completely different character??? Isn't that just weird???

Does this replace Eldritch Horror?

Xmen Mutant Insurrections then this. What was FFG thinking??

Can Red Skull overrun "protected" base? There is nowhere written that he can't and this situation came up in my game last time.

On the Graphic Desgin/Layout of the game: this is a very personal note, but this must be one of the most medicore looking FFG in a long time. the whole graphic desgin looks so lazy. FFG used to look more well crafted; this looks kinda cheap.

I disagree, it is close to Eldritch Horror.
